The Attack Types and Phases

Attacks on network systems can be divided into three types and three phases. The three types of attacks are reconnaissance, access, and denial of service (DoS). The first phase is defining the objective of the attack. The second phase, reconnaissance, is both a type of an attack and a phase of the attack. The third and final phase is the actual intrusion or attack on the network resources. As the phases of an attack progress, the type of attack can also change. The second phase of an attack, reconnaissance, would, by definition, include a reconnaissance attack, while the third phase, attack, would include a DoS or an access attack. DoS attacks are discussed in the section “Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks.”
